1. INTRODUCTION
The Headphone Distribution Amplifiers 0700-001 and 0700-011 feature three audio inputs, a pilot mic input, and eight controllable audio outputs. The pilot mic input will override the other inputs when active. The unit is designed to integrate into any entertainment system with analog audio capability and controllers that allow you to select different audio sources in the aircraft.
This guide describes general configuration information for the Rosen Headphone Distribution Amplifier with any audio source equipment to supplement the Outline and Installation Drawing (P/N 0700-001-CD; 0700-011-CD).
Note: Only trained and qualified personnel should perform installation and service.
The Outline & Installation drawings are also available at www.rosenaviation.com.
From the Rosen Aviation home page, select Support Drawings and Pinouts, and look for the product name under the Accessories category.
2. DEFINITIONS
Independent channels
All eight outputs, or channels, operate independently.
Source select A switch that enables you to select between three different audio input sources independently.
Output channel An audio output from the Headphone Distribution Amplifier (outputs 1-8).
Input channel Refers to the line-level audio source (input channels A, B, and C. For example, a DVD player, iPod, and RosenView VX.)

2.1. Operating Modes
Each output channel may be configured to one of two modes of operation by setting the DIP switches according to the ON indicators on the audio distribution amplifier.
Fixed output Keeps the output channel set to a specific input channel: either A, B, or C.
Switched output Allows the user to select input channels independently of the other output channels. Requires a source select switch wired to the unit.
3. CONFIGURATION DIP SWITCHES
Use the configuration DIP switches to set the audio control for all seats. Each output channel uses two switches. Figure 1 shows the pairs of switches that control each channel.
Figure 1 The factory default DIP switch settings are OFF (up)
3.1. Auxiliary Configuration Switches
The Headphone Distribution Amplifier features an optional 5V power supply that will handle up to 0.5 A.
The Channel C Control is an optional switch that enables the third audio input. Leave these and any other unused switches OFF (up) unless you need to configure them.

4. CONFIGURING A SINGLE OUTPUT CHANNEL
Configuring a single output channel depends on several variables.
Number of audio inputs
Use of a source select switch (such as a controller, IR remote, or at the seat)
Choice of fixed inputs: channel A, B, or C
4.1. Fixed Mode Example
If you are using only one input, you do not need a source select switch or need to enable channel C.
If you do not need a source select switch for the output channel, see Table 1. This example shows that using DIP switches 1 and 2 (SW1 and SW2) will set the output to receive a desired input: either A, B, or C for seat 1.
Table 1 Fixed mode: one audio source and no select switch
DIP SW1
DIP SW2 Input
Channel 1
OFF OFF A
OFF ON B
ON OFF C*
ON ON N/A
*Channel C control, SW6 (small bank), does not have to be ON to listen to Channel C in fixed mode.
Note: Do not set all DIP switches to ON. Doing so will cause the PA to override the audio all the time.
4.2. Switched Mode Examples
If you use a source select switch, see Table 2. This example shows that channels A and B for seat 1 are enabled using a source select switch. The Channel C enable switch (SW6) is OFF.
Table 2 Two audio sources (A & B) and a select switch

For independent switching, configure desired seats to input Channel A.
The audio is constantly on pilot mic with this configuration
The DIP switch settings are identical to the fixed mode Channel A in Table 1; the difference is that a source select switch is used to toggle between inputs A and B.

To configure the remaining output channels (2-8), copy the appropriate switch settings from Tables 1-3. Fixed modes will use either an ON/OFF, OFF/ON, or OFF/OFF combination and switched modes will always use the OFF/OFF combination.
If you use three audio sources and a source select switch, configure the DIP switches as shown in Table 3. The Channel C Enable switch must be ON to use the third audio input.

4.3. Installation Example
You can mix the audio control and configure each seat differently, as shown in Figure 3.
Channels 5 and 6 are set to Input A, and these seats have a choice. Either they may have a source select switch to allow them to change their channel, or they can remain without a source select switch and stay on input A.

Channel 7 C N/A
Channel 8 B N/A
Tip: For more configuration examples, see the Appendix on page 11.
The N/A outputs do not switch the audio properly
Channels 1, 2, and 7 are set to Input C. Channels 3, 4, and 8 are set to Input B. The seats for these six channels do not have source select switches. Only channels 5 and 6, which are set to Input A, can use a source select switch. This is because the DIP switches controlling these channels are turned OFF.

5. MOUNTING
Mount the Headphone Distribution Amplifier in any orientation using the four mounting slots in the flange brackets on the exterior housing. Refer to Note 3 on the Outline and Installation Drawing.
6. ADJUSTING THE MAXIMUM AUDIO LEVEL
The factory defaults for the potentiometers, as shown in Figure 4, are set to line level. This means that the signal coming out of the amplifier is equal to the signal going in. Adjust each knob individually to set the maximum audio level for each input.
After establishing the maximum audio level, use the potentiometers to match the line levels for the audio sources to provide a consistent volume when switching input sources. To lower the audio level, turn the knob counter-clockwise; to raise it, turn the knob clockwise.

Note: To avoid popping when you power the system on and off, do not reverse or interconnect the ground and return lines.

Seats 5-8 have headphone jacks with select switches. These jacks also have LEDs for lighting. The LEDs require +5v DC, which will be supplied by the Headphone Amplifier (SW5 on the small bank of switches). Seats 5-8 can listen to either audio source: XM Radio or DVD Player.
Configure the switches on the Headphone Distribution Amplifier, as shown above. Leave all other unused switches in the OFF position.
